A quality personal trainer acts as a guide.

In every story there is a hero who needs a guide. If you are reading this, then it is your story. You are the hero. Most likely you have felt the call to go on your own fitness journey to get stronger, lose weight, or live better. At this point you may have refused the call to get started or may still be looking for guidance.

In many great stories the hero often refuses the call to their own adventure before meeting a mentor who will aid them in their travels. This guide cannot make the journey for them, but will get them to their destination by providing motivation, knowledge, and accountability along the way.

This is the true role of a personal trainer: to be your guide. You are the hero of your own story. Where you go from here is up to you.

There are generally 3 reasons why people workout: to look better, to feel better, and to move better. Ultimately all of these reasons are to live better.

I have been training to improve my own fitness since I was in middle school. I would train on my own, with the football team after school, and with my speed and agility coach at a gym two towns away. I was motivated to move better as an athlete, and also to look better as developing young man coming into his prime. I believed that all of these would help me create a better life, and they did.

I ended up being recruited to play on multiple sports teams during high school. As many young football players do, I also had my sights set on playing professional football someday. Not surprisingly, that didn’t work out. However, due to my training regimen I was able to walk on and play football at the collegiate and semi-professional levels.

During my undergraduate and graduate education I studied to become a Physical Educator. While studying I learned in depth about exercise science, human movement, and psychology. In the back of my mind I was always tying this new knowledge into my exercise sessions, and was able to push myself in ways that I hadn’t before.

Since then I have coached multiple high school teams, and have been a personal trainer for several years. I still continue to train on my own, but my motivation has changed. Now my motivation is to be an example to those that I train as I pass on what I have learned.
